Nutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition (2003)
Journal Article
Brameld, J. M., Fahey, A. J., Langley-Evans, S. C., & Buttery, P. J. (2003). Nutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition. Archives Animal Breeding, 46(5 SUPPL.), 143-156

This review will consider the processes of skeletal muscle (myogenesis) and fat (adipogenesis) development and the factors involved in regulating them in a variety of species. In particular, the effects of hormones and maternal nutrition during diffe... Read More about Nutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition.

Isolation and characterization of Campylobacter bacteriophages from retail poultry (2003)
Journal Article
Atterbury, R. J., Connerton, P. L., Dodd, C. E., Rees, C. E., & Connerton, I. F. (2003). Isolation and characterization of Campylobacter bacteriophages from retail poultry. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 69(8), https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.69.8.4511-4518.2003

The ability of phages to survive processing is an important aspect of their potential use in the biocontrol of Campylobacter in poultry production. To this end, we have developed a procedure to recover Campylobacter bacteriophages from chilled and fr...

Paraventricular nucleus administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (2003)
Journal Article
Dhillo, W. S., Small, C. J., Jethwa, P. H., Russell, S. H., Gardiner, J. V., Bewick, G. A., …Bloom, S. R. (2003). Paraventricular nucleus administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. Endocrinology, 144(4), 1420-1425. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2002-220902

Calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRP) inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after intracerebroventricular injection in rats. However, the hypothalamic site and mechanism of action are unknown. We investigat...

Agouti-related protein has an inhibitory paracrine role in the rat adrenal gland (2003)
Journal Article
Dhillo, W. S., Small, C. J., Gardiner, J. V., Bewick, G. A., Whitworth, E. J., Jethwa, P. H., …Bloom, S. R. (2003). Agouti-related protein has an inhibitory paracrine role in the rat adrenal gland. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 301(1), 102-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0006-291X%2802%2902991-1

α-Melanocyte-stimulating-hormone (α-MSH) is an agonist at the melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3-R) and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4-R). α-MSH stimulates corticosterone release from rat adrenal glomerulosa cells in vitro. Agouti-related protein (AgRP) an e... Read More about Agouti-related protein has an inhibitory paracrine role in the rat adrenal gland.
